The much-maligned UK wide receiving corps showed marked improvements during Saturday's Blue/White scrimmage. There were fewer dropped balls, and the pass catchers made big plays. On second-and-6 late in the second quarter, the blue-teamed offense was trailing 28-23, when quarterback Andre Woodson connected with sophomore-to-be DeMoreo Ford down the right sideline on a 59-yard touchdown strike.
UK finished fourth in the Southeastern Conference tournament last weekend at Sea Island, Ga. But head coach Brian Craig seemed pleased with his young team's progress, as well as reflecting on the progress of Matt Kohn, the only senior on this year's team. "This was a very respectable finish for us with the youth of this team," Craig said in a press release.
